Nice to know we have some local heros around trying to get the little guy at the table! Appreciate your work! And your point that sometimes you gotta team up is spot on, that is how most business' get a start if they can't get a bank loan. Just wish it wasn't as cutthroat like you say.
I’d say 2 weeks; mine looked like that a week ago and I’m going one more week at least. I want my bracts SWOLE. It is so easy to harvest early, but more difficult to harvest late IMO. These girls pack on SO much weight, flavor and smell in the last 2 weeks.
Or... you could simply be an investor in the BC movement, apparently, with the right investors, and the right business model, you could turn 300k into a million dollar a year operation.. Observe their model, downsize it if you would. Or right size it even better. Research the successful methods that many have used, learn from the mistakes and successes already documented.
Right sizing is the best advice I can give. Starting small can teach you many things along your path to creating a larger design.
Other advice I would give, location, location, location. Gotta find that spot, maybe not your first spot, but your varsity spot should specialize in many things. Deception, security, production, Anonymity, law bending not breaking, or otherwise.
When I say bend, we all bend the law to some extent. I have 12 plants, and one little 11 incher in with the sunflowers. According to law, thats 13 plants and they can come and yank them all. Its a non productive plant, might have a gram dried if Im lucky, but its bending the law.
So are we speaking of bending the law by our own selective interpretation that we feel we could argue with? As in 'Well six couples live here, so we can grow 72 plants' ?
When I lived in the Emerald Triangle, they would do just this. All hired help and employees lived on site, each had the proper paperwork, so when the 5-0 showed up to raid the 672 plant grow, all the proper paperwork was in order when asked for.( As each resident could legally grow X amount of plants)
Now, lets talk seriously about outdoor grows vs indoor. Because, dont know if youve seen any of @ganga gurl420 plants, but 72 of them suckers would keep Japan high for a year. You have high overhead growing inside, not to mention risk. Growing outside legal you could produce far more for a lot less.
Old lady is getting at me, (bed) but I would love to hear more on this idea. I dont have cash to be an investor or partner, but if and when it comes to security, give me a jingle. Its one of my gifts. Always available to consult or help.
GN, Peace, and Namaste. May your soggy buds end in sun and wind that dries your medicine with no rot or problems.
Might just barely make it to harvest...
In my mind, this is not a get rich quick scheme.... Absolutely none of this was thought of for selling and making money... TBH 300k for 1MIL is not a great investment IMO... Selling weed legally or illegally is not a good choice IMO.... for one... the money is no where near good enough to justify any stress or risk... Some days I make $1200+ just sitting in my underwear on my computer for 45 min in the morning... Some bad days its $150 ... But on avg 5 days a week ill make between 300-800 from 830-10am daily, legally... no selling of drugs involved.. taxes paid when required. Once I started doing that I couldnt believe how stupid it was to sell weed anyway, would never do it again... Even when growing a bunch and its "nothing but profit" the stress of that isnt worth it.. My lifes built on integrity and doing whats right, so the stress from breaking any laws just isnt worth it for me these days, too much to lose..
The reason for each lot being its own tax plat registered as an address with the town/city means each lot is allowed potentially 12 plants if 2 adults live in each lot... The only thing being shared is labor, materials, greenhouse,etc. all legal things... 72 plants in this set up would fall under personal rec growing... no need to apply, register, form any coop or company... allow any inspections or anything at all.
It’s a damn shame. States OUGHT to give significant preferential treatment to local small business.
300k for for 1 million in a single year isn't good? LOVE to know what you do for investments then. Because I'd take that return in 12 months any day.
Sorry, I should've clarified a bit...
Nice, same thing going on over here, RH is low at 58-60 when I checked this AM, had to start the humidifier up.
@moonman33 - those figures I took from one of the articles I posted on BC Growers, I believe it was 300k to set up a business that makes a million every year, not a year. I would not be interested in anyone giving me $300 k, I am just not one of the ' Go Big' kind of people. And I'm pretty sure I'm the one that said 12 plants per property is the limit, looks like I gotta stop smoking and posting....
that article was from 16 years ago ... legalization has since sucked any profit out of itHere's the Canadian info from the article...
Payday
The payoff for commercial growers is huge. BC Hardcore diagrammed the agricultural economics of big grows as follows: It costs about $120,000 CDN to initially outfit a house to make it a commercial grow. This does not include the purchase cost of an average 2,000 square foot house, which can hold a 75-light operation growing 1,100 plants that produce 150 pounds of top-grade sinsemilla every eight weeks.
Ongoing costs after start up are about $11,000 per month. The cost of a mortgage is on average $15,000 down, and $1,000 a month in mortgage and property taxes for the kind of house that growers prefer. Thus, the first year cost of running a 75-light commercial grow is approximately $277,000. Costs decrease after the first year.
With proper quality control and nutrients that produce at least two pounds per light, a 75-light grower can harvest about 900 pounds of cannabis per year. Cannabis sells for an average of $2,300 CDN wholesale, which results in gross sales of about $2 million per year.
Even if we upped the per year expenses to $350,000 per year, the profit on a 75-light, 2,000 square foot grow house is $1.65 million per year. If the grow consortium wanted to pay cash for the house ($300,000), profits would still total more than a million dollars per year, right from the start

Holy Shit, I really gotta stop sampling.....
You ain’t lyin! I’m now tempted to pull all of my TNR because 1). It’s technically mature enough and 2). I found rot in a nice cola which pissed me off.
I am wondering if you trade options ?
Nope, no options.
